Very low Permanent Pressure Drop ll s are pproximately 10% Oversized to allow for Concentrate Thermal xpansion Standard s are painted Red namel U.L. Listed HBT Bladder VBT Bladder Product Specification: The Progard foam bladder tank stores foam concentrate and is a component in a balanced pressure proportioning foam system. flexible concentrate bladder within the SM pressure tank contains the foam concentrate. The concentrate bladder physically separates stored concentrate from the water supply. When the system is activated, firewater supply pressure transmits the force through the flexible concentrate bladder, which forces the concentrate to the ratio flow controller. These bladder tanks do not require an external power, other than a supply of water to ensure proper operation. The Vertical and Horizontal Bladder s are designed and constructed in accordance with the latest revisions to SM code, Section VIII for unfired pressure vessels. They have a working pressure of 175 psi (12 bar) and tested to 1.5 times the working pressure. The tank shell is constructed of steel, complying with SM specifications, possessing a tensile strength of not less than 70,000 psi. The circumferential, as well as the longitudinal body seam, is machine welded. The tank inferior is sandblasted white and all welds and edges ground smooth. The tank shell water inlet is screened to prevent bladder blow out or the entrapment of debris between the tank shell and the bladder. ll other openings greater than 1" are screened to prevent bladder blowout. The vertical tank assembly is supported by four legs with access holes to the bladder drain/fill valve and the tank shell drain/fill valve. Four mounting holes are provided for anchoring the tank. The horizontal tank assembly is supported on two saddles, welded to the tank and fitted with anchoring holes.

RTIO FLOW CONTROLLRS (PROPORTIONRS) Features Proportioner Body and Inlet Nozzle are Cast brass STM 85-5-5-5 material. Machine faced to NSI B16.1 Class 12.5 2 to 2½ threaded style 3" to 8" wafer style to fit between two 150# FF pipe flanges The Controller Body is clearly marked with a Flow Direction rrow and Identification Label on Foam Concentrate Type and Percentage Ratio Suitable for use with all types of Protein, FFF and R-FFF Foam Concentrates U.L. Listed Product Specification: The Progard Ratio Flow Controller is a proportioning device designed to meter the correct quantity of foam concentrate into the water stream over a wide range of flows and pressures. These units are used in conjunction with either a bladder tank or a foam pump proportioning system. The operating principle of the controller is based upon the use of a modified venturi. s the water passes through the inlet jet, a reduction in pressure in the annular area is created. This reduction allows the metering of the foam concentrate into the water stream through the foam concentrate metering orifice. To ensure correct operation of the ratio flow controller when used with a bladder tank, the pressure of the foam concentrate at the controller must be within 2 psi (0.14 bar) of the incoming water pressure. To ensure accurate proportioning over the flow range of the controller, it is recoended that a minimum water inlet pressure of 30 psi (2.07 bar) must always be available during operation of the system.
